"We are in Thermosphere!" Shouted Twilight "Hey don't be so loud" Replied Mission Control "Ok you have to decouple the stage in 3 Seconds" Said Mission Control "Ok you might feel a Jolt" said Fluttershy as she decoupled the stage. They jolted forward "Wow that was a Jolt haha" Said Rainbow Dash "Ok Fluttershy we have a Malfunction on engine 5, Do you mind shutting it down?"
Asked Mission Control "Yes sir" Replied Fluttershy as she shut it down "We will have enough Velocity to get Orbital Velocity by the way" Said Mission control. "Burning now" Said Twilight as she pulled up the throttle "And done" She pulled it down and everything began to float, "Ok lets take our helmets off" Said Rainbow quickly taking hers off and then her suit, The others did the same "Houston" Fluttershy began her speach "We are floating in a most peculiar way" Claps were heard at mission control and then she decoupled the second stage. "Hey Shy!" Rainbow floated down towards Fluttershy you gotta see the Earth outta the windows up here!" Rainbow said "Ok" Replied Fluttershy floating up towards the Window "Oh wow" She said when she saw the front windscreens view, "I know its AWESOME!" Shouting Rainbow Dash. "Ok lets conduct our experiments" Said Twilight as she spun a roll of duct tape and it stayed spinning not slowing down, "Oh and I have to do this on EVA in the next 5 minutes" Rainbow Dash got out a Book and showed them the Cover: DARING DOO AND THE TEMPLE GOBLINS.
"Houston are we alright to go on EVA?" Twilight asked "Checking now... Yes your alright to conduct some experiments outside"

Sent Twilight to Mission Control as she opened the airlock outside doors. "Ok get your Oxygen pipes and attach them to the Plug in the Oxygen Tank" Rainbow and Fluttershy did what they were told "Houston I have no sense of up or down and I feel sick" Sent Rainbow to Mission Control "If you were here you would have to look at this so look at this instead Fluttershy took a picture of the Earth and sun going down beside it with her Spacesuit inbuilt Camera. Rainbow took some pictures of the Dark side of the Earth "Wow twilight look at the images you can see the City lights!" Said Rainbow and then she dropped the Daring Doo book "May that be in space forever even though it's gonna get bleached with Radiation" Said Rainbow "I know I have a Windscreen" Replied Twilight "Accessing connection with EICS and ICS Houston" Said Twilight Ok nearest is EICS over 50,000 Miles away on the Dark side of the Earth,
ICS is on the Light side Connect with ICS Can you read me?" Twilight asked Mission Control "*Crackle* Flash here Yes we read you".
"Ok girls conducted your experiments?" Asked Twilight "yes we are outside the airlock, Right Shy?" Said Rainbow "Yes" Replied Fluttershy "Ok I am opening the Doors disconnect your pipes once the outside doors close" The outside doors opened and they floated in.
"The pipes are back there egghead" Replied Rainbow "Ok now I'm closing the outside doors so mind out" The doors closed and the air was sucked out, "Ok opening inside doors" Said Twilight the inside doors opened and they got in immedantly getting off there Suit "Closing" Said Twilight.
The doors closed and the Ponies sat down with there suits floating on Fluttershys level. (Actually the floated around but it was relaxing)
"I wish I could use my wings in space, But no air pressure stuff and exploding can't expose wings bla bla bla" Said Rainbow Dash "Well we are entering our Burn zon-" Twilight was cut off by Houston saying "ok commence burn in 5 seconds" "Ok!" Fluttershy floated down and pointed the ship retrograde and Twilight sat down and pulled up the throttle whie Rainbow got her hoof over the DECOUPLE FINAL STAGE FOR REENTRY button. "Commencing burn" Said Rainbow to Houston as everything began to fall from there floating position, "Ok stopping" "Get on your suits girls!"
shouted Twiight as she got her own on and the rest followed.

It started with a simple Red flame but in a few seconds the area around the capsule was completely red and it looked like a Comet.
"Girls it has been a pleasure flying together" Said Twilight as they would be in space bacteria removial for two weeks "Ok or reentry batteries ar at 50% and ablast at 70%" Said Fluttershy "We lost contact with Houston" Said Twilight.
Ok we have 1 minutes of Reentry left, Ok reentry is down deploying Parachutes the Equestrian Navy watched the Capsule Parachute down "Twilight can you copy?" Asked Houston "Twilight can you copy?" "1 Can you copy?" Just then the sound of Mission Control came through the Radio "Yes houston we read" Said Twilight as they splashdowned and then the Camera from the Navy ship came on on the TV and showed the Capsule parachuting down.
